For the past few years, I used Lastpass as my password manager, both on my laptop and smartphone. Unfortunately, the company behind the password manager has announced new restrictions on its free service. Starting March 16, 2021, LastPass Free will include access on only one type of device: either computers or mobile devices, but not both.
Since I use both, I decided that I might as well switch to a service offering better security: The NordPass Password Manager. Nordpass comes from the cybersecurity team behind the award winning VPN solution NordVPN and offers XChaCha20 encryption, the same encryption algorithm Google and Cloudflare uses.
Most password managers and other security products have been built using AES-256 encryption, which is a recognized security standard. So why did NordPass choose to be different?
We want our product to be long-lasting and are looking at our customers’ security in the long run. AES encryption is fast and secure, but it shows some early signs of potentially becoming crackable in the future. If this happens, most products will have to go back to older encryption algorithms. We want to avoid this and move forward, not backward.
It also features a zero-knowledge architecture, meaning that NordPass does not store your passwords on its server and cannot access the information stored in your vault. Get the Nordpass password manager for just $29.99 for a 1 year subscription to the service instead of $59.99 or 2 years for $59.99!
You can also subscribe to the 2-year bundle offering both the VPN and password management solutions for just $99.
Passwords are the front line for your online account security. However, they should work for you and not the other way round. Get NordPass and let it do the job for you — remember and autosave all your complex passwords, autofill online forms, generate strong passwords when needed, and more. With all-account sync, NordPass lets you access your online accounts whenever you need them. Worried about data phishing, hacking, and other threats? Following the latest security practices and industry standards including XChaCha20, zero-knowledge architecture, master password, backups & sync, and two-factor authentication, NordPass makes sure your data stays safe.
